EP. 32 UNDERSTANDING WOMENS PHYSIOLOGY - LAUREN COLENSO-SEMPLE

Hawk Fit Presents: Anabolic Radio

After a slight hiatus, Anabolic Radio is back!!

.

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking to Lauren Colenso-Semple who is currently finishing up her PhD and has worked with the likes of @billcampbellphd @bradshoenfeld @andygalpin and now currently @stuphillips . We discussed all things related to women’s physiology and hypertrophy in addition to her latest paper on Menstural Cycle, or Phase based training.

.

I think the biggest take away from our discussion was in general- Often we like to turn to research to tell us how to structure our diet and training programs, and studies certainly can act as guidelines or starting points. We must remember, however, that in general, most research reports averages.

.

Individual responses to exercise and diet can vary dramatically from one person to the next; averages don’t provide us with this information.

.

This is why I always preach- learning through experience and trail and error will be the foundation for which you can fast track your own progression.

.

All of this suggests that you need to consider how you respond individually to changes in training and diet in order to determine your optimal program design.

.

Tune into the full discussion for a deeper dive- available on all streaming platforms.

Thank you for your time Lauren!
